Kyoto, Japan｜Kyoudon Kisoba Okakita

Best tempura I’ve had in Kyoto this time. I have tried several places before, but 岡北has the best. Very very fresh shrimp and vegetables with thin outside tempura layers. I even ordered one more tempura side. I like their thicken soup too. The egg is very smooth and the hint of ginger is tasty, (though it’s summer now,better to try it again in winter haha).I’ve read some comments saying that the service was not good. I quite understand that waiting for a long time really kills patience and moods. I came here at 3pm which was neither dinner nor lunchtime so I only waited for five minutes. And I came in, I felt staff were nice and helpful. The price is reasonable and the food are outstanding, so please don’t only look at the low-point comments. Try this place yourself.

The best Udon experince in Kyto or in Japan. Price is reasonable and taste is great. They have English menu but need to ask. But most of guest are japanese so please do your homework before visit. Udon or Soba is same great and Tempura is very good.

We wanted to go to Yamamoto Menzo for ramen, when we were almost there we saw a long line so we just jumped into the long queue without second thought , we thought that’s the line for Yamamoto Menzo But it is not after 90 minutes in the line Okakita is a Michelin udon joint, it is good, but is it that good for 100 minutes wait?
